Chapter 6: Whole Home DVR
Cox’s new Whole Home DVR service lets family members watch saved programs from any television set/cable receiver
combination in the house, even those that don’t have DVRs. The DVR also allows you to pause a show in one room
and resume watching it in the other room. It is that easy. Up to five receivers, any combination of DVRs and non-DVR
receivers, can be networked together. The latest software upgrade from Cox now supports multiple DVRs for your Whole
Home DVR service. You can access combined or individual lists of recordings stored on all DVRs from any receiver in
your home network.
When your network is complete, family members can watch recorded programs at the same time from each of the
televisions in the network. From the non-DVR receivers, you can play a program, replay favorite scenes or fast forward to
the next important scene, delete the program when you have finished watching it, and schedule recordings, just as you
would if you were using the DVR-enabled receiver. Only the DVR-enable receiver can give you VCR-like functionality –
PAUSE, REWIND, etc. – while watching live TV.
To enjoy Whole Home DVR, you must be a subscriber to Cox’s Whole Home DVR service. If you are not a subscriber but
would like to learn more, please contact your Cox Customer Service Representative.
